I hope you all are having a blast creating Christmas cards, Hanukkah cards, scrapbook pages and home decor during this magical season.

I had so many great ideas for these two new stamp sets and so many more that are sadly just sitting on my craft desk.

After having two unsuccessful heart surgeries in October and November, I am having Open Heart Surgery tomorrow morning in downtown Chicago.

I have one of the best Heart Surgeons in the Country so I am in good hands and should be back to my old self come springtime!

That being said, it is a long recovery and I am planning on starting Cardiac Rehab in February/March.

My craft room will be dark for awhile but Stampin’ Up! has assured me that when I am ready to get back on my feet, I can pick up right where I left off, no worries and this is why I adore this company!

You can continue to place online orders while I am recovering and that would be great!

I just wanted all of you to know what has been going on, why I haven’t been uploading videos as often as I used too... It’s been a hectic journey but I am ready to get back to my old self.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty, I feel so blessed to have many of you as customers but more so as friends.

Welcome to the best month of the year, December! Our house is all decked out and I love to have decorations all over the house. Here is our beautiful mantel with the stockings I made for each precious person in our family.

The sparkle on each one is so enchanting and I enjoy looking at them everyday.

The fireplace is the focal point in the family room and I will post the beautiful tree tomorrow. What are some of your favorite Christmas decorations in your home? Please share in the comments below this post or share pictures on The Happy Stamper Facebook page ~

As promised here is the quick and easy Recycled Gift Bag/Packaging project I spoke of earlier in my post. I know everyone has tons of these bags that we keep in our closets and really never use. Well now is the time to grab your glue, some cute 12" x 12" holiday paper, ribbon and cardstock to make gift tags.

Don't forget the hot cocoa and a Christmas c.d. to have playing in the background!

I hope this saves you some money and perhaps instead donating the money instead or just saving it this season.
